I would love to have a drop down selection menu for the guest to select an option of how they hears about us wether that is via Facebook, Twitter, Friend/relative, Print advertising, Newsletter, etc. This would help with tracking our advertising $ via different venues! Thanks!

You can forward voice calls made to your SMS number, to another phone number, yes.

You cannot forward SMS messages though.

Hello all. My understanding was that you could "forward" SMS replies to another number. I have set up forwarding to my GV number but messages do not get forwarded. GV number is capable of text messages.

This update has now been released, so you can use the change/move button even if the booking has been canceled.

I just came here to request this as well. I would love to set up all my monthly charges as recurring. Even just an option to duplicate a past expense would be helpful!

Thanks, Chris. I'd added this here after Paul responded suggested via email that I add it as a feature request. Thanks for clarifying that it is already available!

Good point -- this used to be possible when Info was a separate edit screen, but when we merged everything into one change/move screen it is now not possible.

We'll get an update out to make that change/move button visible for canceled bookings as well.

Discount Code to Exclude Cleaning Fee 1 reply

Have your rent as position 1 - I'm thinking it would always be at the top anyway.
Have your cleaning as position 3... it will be next in line unless you have something that says it should be position #2... see next :)
Have any/all discounts as position 2, that way it only discounts the rent and is discounted before cleaning, taxes, and/or any other surcharges are applied.

I want to be able to edit the TITLE of the canceled booking. I am using it for my own reservation code to keep track of the vouchers etc. The {CHANGE/MOVE} button is missing on OVERVIEW page when booking was canceled.

Is there a place you can specify if you have a boat slip with your property. Either marking it as boat slip included or boat slip available for added fee placing under rooms and accommodations or amenities?
It would be easier for people to search who need a boat slip if it was include under a specified criteria just as when you are search waterfront or ocean view.

Hey Alece! If you go to a booking, go to the Reviews tab and click the "Request from Guest" button, you'll see what the guest review experience looks like.

There is a Public Review box at the top, and then at the bottom of the guest form there is a Private Feedback box to collect that private feedback as well.

I want guests to feel free to share any constructive criticism they may have, but would obviously want them to feel encouraged/know they can do so privately rather than including it in their public review (as they can on certain platforms). Would love to see a "Private Feedback" section included in the OwnerRez review process itself.

SEASONS - Add "Everything But" and "Only Capability" when selection properties 1 reply

We've got a pending update to support "shift + click" on those checkbox lists. That should be released in the next week or so. We've also got longer term plans to add "select all" and "clear" options to that interface, but I don't have an ETA for that.

We don't allow excluding seasons because it encourages some dangerous patterns for rate calculation. We may revisit this decision in the future, but no plans to change it at this time.

Rate Entry Screen Filter on Season 0 replies

A filter to select rates by portions of a season name would allow selection and display of seasons for specific years, properties etc.

For instance, our seasons are named 2021 Fall, 2022 Fall etc. Allowing filter to select for 2021 would very helpful.
We also have some unique properties with season that do not fall into the regular pattern. We prefix these for instance with acronyms such as OBC for Ocean Bay Club. Filtering on these would only display seasons for that complex.

Currently you can select all properties or select properties.
In our case we have 30 properties and if we want to select 25 of the 30 we have to click 25 times for each season.

By adding "only" or "everything but" options this would make process easier.

Hi Ken,

Is there any progress on this feature? Although guest replies are saved to a Google account that I have dedicated to rentals, I would prefer to all correspondence stored within OwnerRez.

I've seen a few queries about this (going back to 2013), can't find an actual feature request..

I need bcc (and cc as well) for email templates. Use case: when I send a door code to a guest, I also want to send the door code to my managers who will be setting the code to make sure we're all on the same page. The door code email is a triggered template... but can't automatically send to management team without duplicating the same trigger and duplicating the template, not optimal.

When you Create an Owner Statement you have three default Standard Views (Owner Amounts, Owner Revenue, and Full Amounts). Each of these give you a “Booking” Tab which provides both the Booking # and the Guest Name in a hyperlink.

When you create a custom Statement View you can do either the Guest Name column, or the Booking # column, but there is not an option to have them both in one column with a link (like in the Standard View).

Please add this option to Custom Owner Statement View
